A carved oak panel possibly mid 17th century, derived from a rood screen or bed panel, on later adapted cheval-type stand, the arcaded top rail with a central mask of a moustachioed gentleman above two transoms inscribed 'Robert Greville Catherine/ 'Vix Ea Nostra Voco 1648' flanked by subsidiary wainscot panels depicting Greville family armorials, roundels and strap work, the verso similarly carved and inscribed (some carving possibly of a later date for the purposes of adaptation), the stiff leaf carved uprights on trestle bases with scroll carved angle brackets 108cm wide, 165cm high Note; Like his father the 2nd Baron, and his eldest brother, the 4th Baron, Francis Greville 3rd Baron Brooke served as Recorder of Warwick.Unlike them however he is noted in Burkes Peerage 1999 as having been unmarried. It is thought most likely therefore that this panel was commissioned in 1648 by Francis Greville, 3rd Baron Brooke of Beauchamps Court to honour his parents. The central carved panel carries a Greville shield with crest and supporters. The supporters are indicative of a peerage. The left hand cartouche carries the same Greville shield with the addition of a scalloped border - generally indicative of an illegitimate line. This is the shield as used by the present day head of the familyholding the Earldom of Warwick. It is not unknown for an English title to be held by a person descended from the original peer by an illegitimate line, a fact marked by such a scalloped border round the sheild as in this example. The right hand cartouche carries the shield of the Russell of Woburn, and is the Crest of the 2nd Baron's wife, Catherine Russell, daughter of the 4th Earl of Bedford. The family motto "Vix Ea Nostra Voco" was originally taken from Ovid's Metamorphoses and approximately translates as "I scarcely call these things our own - the priciple of stewardship"

A 1973 Jensen Interceptor MkIII automatic two door sports saloon, registration mark CBY 96M, finished in red with cream interior. Note: this vehicle is offered as viewed, with a current SORN receipt, valid until 30th September 2007, but without current MOT certificate or Road Tax. It has been with its current owner for thirteen years; the distance recorder displays a mileage of 47,494.

It is fitted with a stainless steel exhaust, a Le Mans louvered bonnet and a full length Webasto sunroof. The car appears to be in generally sound condition but the sills and floor panels will require some attention before an MOT test. A photocopy of the workshop manual is included.

1994 RANGE ROVER SE TOWNLEY STRETCH LIMOUSINE EX SULTAN OF BRUNEI FAMILY & 14K MILES Estimate £24000 - 28000 Registration Number L23 PWT Chassis Number SALLHBM33MA648288 Engine Number N0D09761B Engine Capacity 4275 Paint Colour BLACK Trim Colour RED MOT Expiry Date APRIL 2007 One of the few truly 'classless' cars of recent times, the Range Rover was the brainchild of famous Rover engineer Spen King. The idea was simple yet brilliant - to take the supreme off-road ability of the Land Rover and marry it to the comfort and refinement of the Rover saloons to create a truly multi-purpose vehicle. Yet few could have foreseen just how successful the Range Rover would be at marrying these opposing qualities. Launched in June 1970 with a practical yet stylish 3-door station wagon body and powered by the sinewy ex-Buick 3.5 litre V8 engine the Range Rover was an instant hit with both farmers and the Chelsea set alike. Throughout the 1970s demand far outstripped supply and during the 1980s further development saw the introduction of a 4-door model, automatic gearbox and a Turbo Diesel engine to ensure that the Range Rover always stayed one step ahead of pretenders such as the Mercedes-Benz G-Wagen and myriad Japanese off-roaders from Nissan, Toyota & Mitsubishi.However, this particular black Range Rover is no ordinary 4x4. Originally ordered by the Sultan of Brunei for his younger brother Prince Jefri, the car was converted by Townley 4x4 (coachbuilders to The Queen) at a total cost of £139,000 and features 2 additional centre doors with strengthened chassis, raised roofline with laminated sunroof, darkened windows and one piece opening rear tailgate. Having a central full electric division the red Bridge of Weir leather interior has three rear seats (2 electrically operated) and includes such luxuries as full air conditioning, stereo/CD player and two remote control 8" television sets with video recorder. Fitted with 4.3 litre V8 engine and automatic gearbox the car has covered only 14,000 miles from new, a figure guaranteed correct by the vendor. Described as 'A1+' condition in all aspects by the vendor this particular car found fame when it was used to ferry Mike Tyson around Glasgow when he fought at Hampden Park in July 2000 (copy period news reports on file).
